This lesson examines enterprise infrastructure, the network devices, security tools, and communication methods that form the backbone of an organization's computing environment. Securing this infrastructure is central to cybersecurity because it carries and protects all of an organization's data and services. In modern enterprises that blend on-premises systems, cloud platforms, and remote workforces, applying sound security principles to infrastructure design keeps data safe as it is stored, accessed, and transmitted.
Lesson Objectives
- Apply security principles to infrastructure design considerations.
- Explain how to select and place appropriate security controls.
- Describe secure methods for communication and remote access.
- Apply these principles across modern enterprise and hybrid environments.
Enterprise Infrastructure
Enterprise infrastructure refers to the complete collection of hardware, software, networks, and devices that an organization uses to deliver its computing and communication services. This includes the routers and switches that move data, the firewalls and security appliances that protect it, the servers that run applications, and the connections that link users to resources. In simple terms, it is everything that makes an organization's technology work together.
